Global Patient Safety Challenge:
Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance
RATIONALE
Antimicrobial resistance poses a
growing threat to the treatment and
control of infections
2PSG4 :Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance
3. Antimicrobial misuse puts community at risk of
severe illness / death due to untreatable infections,
and
wastes limited healthcare resource for future
generations.
HAI with MDRO are major causes of death in the
world.
Inappropriate use of antimicrobials by patients,
healthcare providers, and food producers is an issue of
patient safety.

MDRO (MultiDrug-Resistant Organism) :
microorganisms, predominantly bacteria, that are
resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial
agents.

8. Must fulfill all 3 criteria:
i. Isolation of an MDRO from any body sites
ii. The patient must be admitted to the ward
iii. The case must be “Newly Identified”
“Newly identified” include:
i. MDRO identified for the first time during current
hospital admission
ii. Cases that have been identified at our site but acquired
“new infection “
( Infection with organism having different antibiogram
0r as defined “new infection” by clinician)
Definition: MDRO Case

MRSA : a bacteria that is resistant to

In the community, most MRSA
infections are skin infections.
In medical facilities, MRSA causes life-

15. ESBL (Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases)
Are enzymes that mediate resistance to
extended-spectrum (3rd generation)
cephalosporins (e.g., ceftazidime, cefotaxime,
and ceftriaxone) and monobactams (e.g.,
aztreonam).
• Why should clinician be concerned about
detecting ESBL?
Presence of an ESBL-producing organism in a
clinical infection can result in treatment failure if
one of the above classes of drugs is used.

• Having an ESBL

•The pooled RR, represented by the diamond at the bottom of the figure, is 1.85 (95% CI 1.39–2.47, P , 0.001).
•There was significant heterogeneity among the study results (P = 0.001).

20. Benefits of prudent use of antibiotics
• Prudent use of antibiotics can prevent the emergence and selection of
antibiotic-resistant bacteria.19-23
• Decreasing antibiotic use have also been shown to result in lower
incidence of Clostridium difficile infections.24-26

21. Antimicrobial Stewardship
Programme
• Promotes appropriate use of antimicrobials by
selecting
– Appropriate indication
– Dose
– Duration
– Route of administration.
• Has potential to
– Improve efficacy
– Minimize drug-related adverse events
– Limit the emergence of antimicrobial resistance
– Reduce treatment-related costs.
